I Can!

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
--Philippians 4:13

This verse has been one of "my" verses for over ten years. I have learned that no matter what life throws at me, I can survive when I lean on Christ and His strength. God will never give us more than we can handle when we rely on Him to get us through. No matter how hard life seems at times, we must remember that what is happening is happening for a reason and He will guide us through and if we lean on Him, not only will we survive, but we will grow closer to Him.
